Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Chilled campsite, great for 1 or a few nights, lovely owner very friendly, nice that you can have a campfire. Great walks around, can walk to Monyash and the bull pub one way and to Over Haddon and The Lathkil Hotel the other way. Facilities, toilet block with 3 toilets, new addition of a urinal, always seem to be clean, water points on site, fabulous views. Really enjoyed our stay and will be booking in again soon.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: nicely set spot in open fields, it was exactly as i imagined, simple, friendly and a great spot for me as a mountain biker. the owners pop round to check you in and let you know where everything is which is a nice touch for a solo traveller like myself.

Disliked: nothing, everything was as expected.

Local attractions

A Peak District break should always include a visit to Chatsworth House (20 minutes’ drive). This country house has over 25 rooms, including a painted hall and sculpture room, and the grounds are just as splendid – here you can take the kids to meet the pygmy goats in the farmyard, and play at the adventure playground, eat according to the season at the estate’s restaurants or take a buggy tour. Haddon Hall (15 minutes) is another nearby historic house, with a medieval park that can be explored on guided tours. And there’s Matlock (20 minutes) close by too – it was once an ancient spa town and now a gateway for bike rides, hikes and the lot. If staying active is high on your priorities, a visit to the Hathersage Swimming Pool (25 minutes) is the place to practise your backstroke under the open sky. You’re bound to get in some steps around Alton Towers (40 minutes) too, running between rides. Dovedale (30 minutes), of course, is a place for more traditional hikes – the valley is almost three miles long, and there are stepping stones to cross on your way around this scenic stretch of land.
